Been there twice and really enjoyed it, although I only been up the Brocken and to Nordhausen. My tip, if you like to hike, is to take the first train to Steinerne Renne and hoof it to Drei Annen Hohne. there is a trail that runs next to the racks for part of the way, and the rails lead to the tunnel and many lovely forest locations. In my opinion, this segment has the best selction of locations The top of the Brocken is quite spectacular, but there are not as great a variety of photos available. Walk is about 10 km = 6 miles. One note is that the departure upgrade out of Steinerne Renne is rather steep and the locos really have to work. Enjoy your vacation Alcofan. PS. First pix is the upgrade from Steinerne Renne
